They form the link between things like EDOs and JI, and by doing so form the basis for all of [[regular temperament theory]]. It's very common for vals to refer to EDOs specifically, although they also show us how to relate larger chains of [[generator]]s to JI as well (such as a stack of meantone fifths). | ||
